Art has always been an outlet for me no matter what I am experiencing or going through. It’s my way to work through my feelings w/o talking.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love creating body art because it allows me to turn people into living canvases and express emotion through color and design. I also enjoy painting with acrylics and watercolors, where I can blend bold expression with softness and imagination.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw inspiration from my lived experiences, emotions, and the people around me. I’m a big kid at heart, so I love bringing a sense of wonder, joy, and childlike imagination into my artwork. I want my art to make people feel something, whatever that might be.
What would you do with $25,000?With the $25,000, I would love to open an art studio for young artists in my community. My goal would be to provide a safe, welcoming space where creativity can thrive. I plan to offer programs that inspire confidence, self-expression, and connection through art. I would especially love to create opportunities for children who may not otherwise have access to artistic programs and supplies..
